Tabbed Browsing


Opera Mini 5 finally brings with it the much-awaited tabbed browsing support to the mobile browser. This might just have been the most sought after feature ever on the Mini and this time Opera seems to have finally heard users' pleas and implemented tabbed browsing here. The browsing experience might vary from device to device, but it was a nice experience with tabs so far. Another addition I figured out is that you can click and open a new link in a new window, just like on a PC. That's cool!

The positivs were covered well in the review. On the Blackberry, some caveats: 1. closing the browser is a 3 click affair -- not good. 2. cannot find how to edit the speed-dials 3. navigation is bit clunky if no touchscreen 4. GUI made very pretty. Comes in the way of navigation at times i am sticking to 4.2 for now

Opera 5 mini downloads application/files through the phone browser and hence may support only those downloads which are supported by your mobile phone,unlike opera 4.2 which has inbuild dowloader by which you can dowload those applications/files which are not even supported by phone. Also the problem with rapidshare continues with opera 5 beta the countdown timer never counts down and stays still.

I have a Nintendo DSi with Opera browser but does not support video; after navigating the internet you have to flush the temp files... I wish they have an update for that, is not much fun to not being able to play video :(

The 24/100 is how far the server farm gets to on the Acid 3 test before it sends it to the Opera Mini client, not how good the standards support in in Opera Mini. It has the same engine as Opera desktop, so presumably would get to 100/100.
